For the first time, researchers have successfully coupled a continuous time crystal-a quantum system that oscillates ...

Scientists discovered low-frequency gravitational waves that bend and stretch space-time and distort all four dimensions of our universe.

When two massive objects – like black holes or neutron stars – merge, they warp space and time. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational ...

In 2019, LIGO and Virgo recorded something truly bizarre – a gravitational wave event less than a tenth of a second in duration. Compared to the drawn-out chirps of black hole binaries on decaying ...

When black holes need a place to crash, they prefer a nice, bright quasar. So says Chiara Mingarelli, an assistant professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and a key member of an ...

"What we're seeing hints at a much more dynamic and active universe than we anticipated." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

For centuries, the primary way that astronomers studied outer space was through sight. But just ten years ago, scientists successfully established a way to 'listen' to our cosmos – detecting ...

"GW250114 is the loudest gravitational wave event we have detected to date; it was like a whisper becoming a shout." The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is celebrating 10 ...

We may have found a way to stave off armageddon. Spanish Scientists might have made it infinitely easier to spot space rocks heading for Earth — by calculating the gravitational bending of light to ...

In a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration reports on the detection of two gravitational wave events in October and November of 2024 ...

A small, dark object hiding within an “Einstein ring” was found recently, and it could help researchers pinpoint mysterious ...

During night-like conditions created during the totality of a solar eclipse, like that of April 8, planets and stars are visible. Venus and Jupiter, bracketing the sun, will be very noticeable, while ...
